It depends.. If DH is cooking then kitchen can get messy quickly. My dog also sheds so if it's her high shedding season then the house gets dirty again quicker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-cleaning-your-house-is-it-messy-again#post-2014642 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 07:10:13 +0000 Pancakes 2014642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not long at all--it is so discouraging! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-cleaning-your-house-is-it-messy-again#post-2014625 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 03:47:16 +0000 Mama Bird 2014625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The toys show up everywhere in an hour, takes them two to get back under the couch :happy: The dust bunnies are back in a couple of days.

Hours? Minutes?</p> <p>I vacuumed and tidied this AM and by naptime there were toys out all over the upstairs, ( DD went to town while I vacuumed the first floor), folded laundry unfolded bc someone's doll NEEDED the real baby's pjs, food on the floor under the high chair, and remnants of a snowy pine cone crushed all over the staircase (that ones a long story)...</p> <p>It's not just you, and knowing your kids are at least 2 years older than each of mine is squelching my naive vision that maybe this will get better when at least one of them goes to school (or becomes a neater eater, or actually plays with one or two toys at a time, or stops snatching random towels/laundry to attend to her baby dolls, or....or....or....) EeeK! haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-cleaning-your-house-is-it-messy-again#post-2014530 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 22:45:40 +0000 sarac 2014530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fairly decently long.
